Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$1,020 to pay you S$103,104. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$2.21 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
21.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.1% tax rate now rises to 21.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$1,237,248 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$260,745. That means that your net pay will be S$976,503 per year, or S$81,375 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.1% and your marginal tax rate is 22.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of S$100 in your salary will be taxed S$22, hence, your net pay will only increase by S$78.
Bonus Example
A S$1,000 bonus will generate an extra S$780 of net incomes. A S$5,000 bonus will generate an extra S$3,900 of net incomes.
